• London Attack: Man Hacked to Death Was a British Soldier

    British authorities are debating whether to raise the country's threat level one day after a British soldier was hacked to death by suspects shouting jihadist slogans in southeast London.

    Britain's top leaders held an emergency meeting today in the equivalent of the White House Situation Room, deciding whether they believe Wednesday's assault near an army barracks could lead to more attacks.

    The soldier's family has asked that his identity not be released.

    Counterterrorism police searched a home in northeast England, according to police in Lincolnshire, and officers were seen meticulously searching a parking garage and a lawn in Woolwich, where the attack took place. They also continue to interview the two suspects, who are in the hospital under arrest after they were both shot by armed police. It's unclear whether they are cooperating with authorities.

  • A Georgia woman said she is thankful to be alive after a 20-foot section of a 747 cargo plane's wing fell off before part of it came crashing into her home.

    Pamela Ware was in her Clayton County, Ga., home Sunday afternoon when she heard a boom from above.

    "I was like, 'Huh?'" Ware told local ABC affiliate WSB. "Actually, I hit the floor."

    The boom Ware heard was a part of the wing of a China Airlines-operated Boeing 747 cargo plane flying from Anchorage, Alaska. As the plane approached Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, a piece of its right wing tore off, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing, according to WSB.

    Part of the ripped debris landed on top of Ware's house, while another chunk of the plane's wing landed a few miles away, in the parking lot of a Walmart.

    The plane's debris punctured two holes in Ware's roof before landing in her yard.

    "If it had landed in here, because that is just Sheetrock, it would have … oh, boy, I wouldn't be

  • Can You Do Yoga if You Aren't Flexible?

    I always thought that of yoga as something only done by young, lithe ballet enthusiasts. It was definitely not something practiced by uncoordinated, middle-aged guys who can't touch their toes. Put me in the latter category and add to that that I'm nearly six-and-a-half feet tall and have had two back operations.

    But my wife, Jeanne, is nothing if not persistent when it comes to me and exercise. Twenty years ago she convinced me to try step aerobics, eventually persuading me that it was okay to be the only guy in a class of women who seemed to have stepped from a chorus line. I hid in the back row where it didn't matter that I was often a beat behind everyone else. And, over time, I learned the moves, got a great workout and improved my sense of timing.

    Seven years ago, Jeanne decided that I should try yoga. I've had lower back issues since I was a teenager (while extreme height is great for seeing over crowds, it does put strain on the lower lumbar vertebrae), and in

  • Reported by Dr. Katie Guttenberg for ABC News:

    Though the practices of yoga and meditation have their roots in ancient cultures, they've both become modern day movements. More than 20 million Americans meditate regularly, according to the 2007 National Health Interview Survey. More than 13 million do yoga.

    To explore the health benefits of meditation and yoga, Dr. Richard Besser, chief health and medical correspondent for ABC News, hosted a tweet chat Tuesday. He invited experts from top hospitals and research centers, including the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, the University of Wisconsin, the Cleveland Clinic and Harvard Medical School, as well as respected yoga authorities from the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge, Mass., and West Hartford Yoga in Connecticut.
